new cyber realities
Attacks have become
professional: hackers,
criminals or foreign
governments.
In the post-Sony era,
all servers “on a wire”
are compromised or
targets.
Regulatory
implementation and

are increasing.

risk-based security frameworks
2016 PwC State of Information Security:
91% of companies have already adopted a risk-based cybersecurity
framework
Risk-based security can help:
• identify and prioritize risks
• gauge the maturity of cybersecurity practices
• better communicate internally and externally
• design, measure and monitor goals
• build program that centers around safety and security of data

“We wanted to look at a bigger picture than just natural gas and
current regulations.”
Tim Hopper - GIS Professional LocusView
Challenge
An increasing stream of requests for documentation,
certifications, and penetration test results
Solution
Used NIST Framework to map the compliance areas that
matter most to their organization, clients
Outcome
LocusView has passed initial audits and the first of several
penetration tests

@pjktech @cohesivenet
conclusions
• Standards are still relevant — Map from standards, not to
• Shift from audit-heavy compliance to risk-based prevention
• Prioritize current compliance over post-mortem disaster
recovery
• Holistic security for each business unit
• NIST Framework can make everyone’s jobs less complicated
